After seeing this show listed on Netflix forever and a Day, and several rounds of thinking "maybe I should watch this"....wife and I finally started it last week. and ended up binging the entire thing.
absolutely love it. I have VERY low expectations going in, so maybe that helped. I liked how it doesn't really try to take itself too seriously; and I love how it seems to exist in this Valley / Karate universe / not based in reality. Just overall entertaining. Couldn't believe the number of original characters they rounded up / got them to agree to do it.
Zabka is absolutely awesome. I was shocked at how well he pulled this off.
as others have said, it does tend to feel a bit campy, but I reminded myself that I don't think their goal was to make some sort of serious series. The sound track is great too.
Granted, the wife and I are huge KK fans (not so much after 1 or 2) so I think that helps / pulls on the nostalgia strings. So glad we decided to watch it. Zabka makes it worth it to me.
